    Default 12 inch Tenon Saw.

    Nearly complete. Will have to wait another 5 days for the shellac to harden before I can buff the handle to a nice shine.

    I have commissioned Chalco Stamp & Die Co.in the U.K to make me a couple of makers hand stamps; 1 for brass backs on backsaws, and the other for doing wooden hand planes. Both will read TOTE TOOL CO.

    Some details on this Tenon Saw. 0.025 gauge saw plate; 12 inch length; 3 5/8 inch below the spine; filed and sharpened 12 tpi; rip tooth; 10 degrees negative rake.

    The handle wood is Tasmanian Blackwood.

    regards; Stewie.

    Nice saw Stewie. Let us know how those stamps work out. I've got a jewelry designer in discussions about them.

    After 5 days to allow the shellac to harden, the handle has now been buffed to a shine.

    Great looking finish Stewie.

    I've been experimenting with oven hardening of the shellac. I'm using about 80 oC for 30 minutes. So far so good.

    The saw plate dimensional ratio on this backsaw has been changed from 3.3 to 4. I also added in a 1/4" cant to the tooth line.

    I should mention that this backsaw should have ended up 16inch in length. Using a 12 inch steel rule, I had 2 lines marked. The 1st at 12 inches, The 2nd, 4 inches past this point. You can work it out for yourself which mark I followed when I cut the saw plate with the metal shears.

    Stewie;

    Before change: 12" x 3 5/8". 3.3 : 1


    After change:

    How did you trim the blade?
    Did you trim the spine side and re drill the holes?
    Or trim the tooth side and retooth?

    Hiroller. The bottom of the saw plate was trimmed back before being retoothed.

    Metal shears were used to remove the waste.

    The edge of the saw plate was then jointed to a straight line using a flat file.

    regards Stewie;
